"Peeples plumbing was so easy to work with they were able to accommodate my schedule and work around a late rescheduling. The tech that came out to install my gas grill was very knowledgeable and instructed me how to swap out the propane orfices for the new gas orfices. He was also very neat and careful not to damage my newly laid sod. I would definitely recommend using Peeples Plumbing and I will call them again for any plumbing jobs I may have in the future."

"The owner answered my call and was polite, knowledgable and friendly as I told him I had a leak from my upstairs bathroom. However, the plumber who actually came to my home was not the owner and was a bit brash, although seemingly knowledgable, so I initially didn't mind. I simply needed a new wax ring, he said, which made sense. After telling me how the one I had on my toilet was a more expensive kind that always leaked and how the cheap $1 ones work the best and only take ten minutes to install, when I then asked how much this would cost, he changed his tune and told me this was a near $200 job that he was actually giving me a deal on for less. It just felt like I got bamboozled. Then after this repair, he said he checked the toilet tank and said he found another problem (one I didn't know about), and that he would need to come back the next day because he didn't have the part on hand. All-in-all, what was supposed to be a ten minute job with a $1 part ended up being $214. I didn't trust what he was saying, but felt he did have the knowledge to repair toilets and I didn't have a choice with my guests arriving and the incredibly busy schedule I had that day. I just felt like he was going to get my bill over $200 no matter what. I called to talk with the owner on three occasions (and waited two months here to make this review because I wanted to be absolutely fair and talk with the owner first), but he simply won't call me back- and if he has, he didn't use the business number and hasn't left a message so I'd know. Needless to say I won't be using this company again, but I not because they don't know how to repair, but because of poor customer service. Customers want to know not only what's going on and how much it's going to cost (not variable pricing- it is either a specific price or not!) or otherwise they feel you're taking advantage of them. When you say how simple and fast a repair is and how inexpensive the parts are, then how can you justify over $200 for less than an hour's worth of time together both days (the second day only because he didn't have the part on hand), including the in and out and all the talking? Over $200 an hour is expensive for suburban Summerville in my opinion."

"We hired MPH plumbing to renovate our bathrooms (2 vanities, new shower/bath, 3 toilets, 4 faucets). It took a little longer than expected due to some damaged flooring and another scheduled job, but we're very happy with the overall outcome! Mike went to bat for us, too, when somehow I ordered a faucet without a drain/stopper and the distributor wanted to charge full price. Mike was available by text, phone, or email and gave updates of his progress. I had to do some minor touch ups (eg, caulking, silicone), but this was part of a complete renovation. So the painting, lighting, and bathroom accessories were my responsibility. Mike's a nice guy, too, and will be respectful of your property and pets. I would hire him again, but I don't have any more bathrooms to fix up. I only wish he did kitchen renovations!"

"Went great. Maddie H. came by and found the problem with my old water heater. She setup the install for me. Bradley K. installed the new water heater the next day and did an excellent job. Both individuals were very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Great job to everyone concerned. Thanks!"

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Charleston, SC

Most trenchless sewer line replacements can be completed within one to three days, though this varies based on your situation. Simple repairs on accessible lines might be finished in hours, while complex systems or challenging soil conditions could extend the timeline. The reduced excavation requirements result in faster completion compared to traditional trenching methods.

Trenchless pipe lining may reduce the interior diameter of your pipes, which could affect flow capacity in already narrow lines. This method also requires the existing pipe to maintain sufficient structural integrity to support the new liner. Severely collapsed sections, major joint separations, or completely misaligned pipes might not be suitable candidates for lining and could require alternative approaches.

Trenchless sewer pipe liners are rated to last up to 50 years when properly installed and maintained. Actual longevity depends on installation quality, usage patterns, and environmental factors like soil movement or tree root intrusion. Regular maintenance and avoiding problematic disposal practices (like flushing non-biodegradable items) can help maximize your system's operational lifespan.

Trenchless technology availability varies by region, with greater accessibility in metropolitan and suburban areas where specialized contractors operate. Some rural locations may have limited access to trenchless equipment and expertise. Local regulations and soil conditions also influence availability. A professional assessment of your property and local contractor options will determine if trenchless methods are feasible for your specific location.

Professional video inspection provides the most reliable assessment of whether your sewer issues suit trenchless repair. Generally, pipes with moderate damage, like small cracks, minor leaks, or partial blockages, respond well to trenchless techniques. Completely collapsed sections, severe misalignments, or extensive structural failures might require traditional excavation. Consulting with contractors who offer both methods ensures you receive unbiased recommendations.

Quality trenchless sewer replacement often includes a workmanship guarantee from the contractor. The specific terms vary by company and region, but many professionals stand behind their installation for at least one year. Material warranties may extend longer, depending on the pipe products used. Always request written warranty information before hiring, and understand exactly what's covered and what might void your protection.
